There was no mention of country of origin in the original article. Canada media does not put country of origin of people who commit crimes. But you a Nigerian journalist had to put Nigeria. Why are we doing this to ourselves. The man bleeped up and his career is over . He probably learnt it from his fellow doctors. Greedy man

If he had discovered a cancer drug you would have called him a Nigerian even if Canadian press refused to mention his country of origin

sigh here we go again lol. Most countries protect their own. We do the opposite and later cry when the consequences comes back to bite us. Indian scammers are the major scammers in Canada but no one judges or stereotypes indians here as scammers. Why

Newphiligeek123:


Smh. So we should protect our own after he commits a crime?

Originalsly:


Maybe because they remain low key.... unlike our scammed who make worldwide noise and bring attention to themselves. Think Hushpuppi. Are you suggesting we should sweep this under the mat?... pretend that we are doing well honestly abroard?

the country wey he committed the crime have claimed him wholeheartedly. And made no reference to Nigeria. Why should we as Nigerians now help in spoiling our own name further. Is this not how biased and stereotypes are formed The next patient that notices a doctor is Nigeria might begin to doubt the tests being recommended

Newphiligeek123:


This is really funny. So the admonishment here is not for Nigerians to stop committing crimes abroad, but for us to cover ourselves whenever we commit crimes abroad?

A Canada-based Nigerian doctor, Dr. Ayokunle Fagbemigun billed for tens of thousands of tests authorities say he never performed, and subjected other patients to scores of unnecessary procedures, investigation has found.

Fagbemigun was among the top billers in Ontario for several procedures at his second-floor office in North Etobicoke, but never actually acquired the materials to perform many of them, a disciplinary decision says.

The doctor also administered to patients several tests they didn’t need, didn’t have documents to back up his decisions to provide them and couldn’t explain why he was drug-testing patients as young as nine years old, and offering another patient eight pregnancy tests in a year, even though she was not sexually active said the Ontario Physicians and Surgeons Discipline Tribunal in a decision issued in March.

“He did this for his own financial gain, at the cost of his patients’ care and the public health care system. He intentionally received many thousands of dollars to which he was not entitled,” the decision read.

Reached at his office in Etobicoke, Dr. Fagbemigun opened the door, and then waved away a reporter. His secretary, in a phone call, confirmed the doctor wasn’t interested in talking to the press.

Investigators with Ontario’s College of Physicians and Surgeons descended on his office in 2018, taking photographs and sweeping up hard drives, one of several judgments in the case says.

Of 2,385 pregnancy tests he claimed to have performed, he only bought enough materials for 225, leaving 2,160 unaccounted for. Of 6,085 rapid strep tests he claimed to have performed, he bought enough materials for 125, leaving 5,960 unaccounted for. He claimed to have performed 10,016 drug tests, but only bought materials enough for 75.

In all, authorities found he billed 42,085 procedures he could not have performed, the decision says. An analysis of the billings showed that the total amount of tax dollars that were paid that corresponded to the procedures is between $270,000 and $410,000.
